It is noticeable that the person who summed up the problems with this series much better than I have is desperance who is a writer, and, has, I believe, written detective fiction under one of his many aliases.

Also The Unquiet Dead (10 and Rose meet Charles Dickens) and The Idiot's Lantern (10 and Rose prat around with nasty television broadcast at Queen's coronation.)

Gatiss is a Who fan from waaaaaaay back, just like RTD and Moffat. However, he dabbles all over the shop as writer, actor, producer and comedian. I can't think, off hand, of anything he's done that I think is good, though..
